Question

What do the scholars of the Din and muftis of the Sacred Law state regarding the following issue: If I have the habit of biting my nails, will this invalidate the fast? Questioner: Shagufta from UK

Answer

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
الجواب بعون الملک الوھاب اللھم ھدایۃ الحق والصواب

In the state of fasting you should refrain from doing this as there is a chance that the Fast can break, if any small piece of the nail goes down the throat then the fast will become invalid.
